OK members, here are the photos as promised. I installed the LAMIN-X optical blue headlamp covers to my Mini this morning. They were starting to get pitted from freeway traffic here in the LA/Orange county area. I chose the optical blue (they also offer clear and amber) to accent the PW color of the car. It went fairly smooth. I love how they accent my PW Mini color. For fellow Mini owners wanting the Xenon HID look, this is the cheap mod! One tip for other members....make sure you leave them out in the sun to warm up before installing. Not a cold day project. Spray a bit of soapy water on the headlamps first before installing. They also needed a bit of trimming with a razor blade since it was not a perfect fit. Anyway, here are some photos.....

May opt for the clear ones tho.

Are they expensive and the blue ones you have do they give the same brightness as clear but withe a blue tint?

Hey your PW looks fresh

So you can have a blue tint instead of the crappy original yellow / dull shine
